Sodium salt vs. Free Ascorbic acid

In the original AOAC method, the sodium ascorbate rather than ascorbic acid was used. It will not make

any difference in the extraction buffer because the pH was adjusted to 6.0 using sodium hydroxide. However, for

the SPE elution solvent and final injection solvent, the pH was not adjusted. A small test of the elution solvent

made either with sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid (formic acid/methanol/ascorbate v/v/w 10:90:1) was carried

out. The SPE eluates from the two elution solvent gave the same response and made no difference for both the

peak shape and intensity. The chromatograms from both of the treatments are presented in Figures 8 and 9.
